Matrix Academy is honestly one of the best beauty academies! I’ve had such a great experience here. What I really love is that they don’t just explain the treatments — they actually demonstrate everything properly on models and give you practical training, which makes learning so much easier and builds your confidence. The whole team is friendly, welcoming and supportive. A special mention to Natalie, who is always so polite, kind and caring and speaks to everyone with such warmth and respect. I’m so happy I chose Matrix Academy for my training and would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to start or grow their career in the beauty industry. ❤️

I completed my levels 4,5 & 6 with Natalie at Matrix. The course structure was well delivered and explained. Questions were answered quickly and well by tutors and the hands on training days werent rushed, with plenty of models to practice on. I highly recommend Matrix.

I had the most amazing experience of my life. Natalie is a really knowledgeable and sweet person. She loves to share her tips with us. We had a small group, and the course was really intense. I’m recommending this Academy with 100% satisfaction. She answered all my questions and looked after us after we finished the course. ❤️

I have been to Matrix 3 times for 3 different treatments and have to say my experience all 3 times was amazing. I had lip filler, the trainer and trainee where both knowledgeable and put me at ease. I then visited to start the process of a tattoo removal and had the same experience. Then I had a Japanese head spa. This left me feeling so relaxed. A wonderful studio, amazing supervision and outstanding treatments, would highly recommend.

I recently completed my training at Matrix Academy Aesthetics School and had such a great experience. Natalie, our trainer, is absolutely amazing. She explains everything clearly and goes through all the information in detail, making sure everyone fully understands and feels comfortable before moving on. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, especially when it comes to anatomy and physiology, and it’s clear she really knows her stuff. We were also given plenty of opportunity to practice on real-life clients, which really helped build confidence. What I appreciated the most is that Natalie continues to support her students even after the training is finished. She stays connected and is always there if we have questions or need guidance. I would highly recommend Matrix Academy to anyone looking to train in aesthetics.

Natalie is a fantastic teacher, every tiny detail is taken into consideration, and the models are non stop giving us plenty of proper hands on training. I still need to come back for my advanced filler, but anti wrinkle, micro-needling, skin peels , first aid and complications are all done for level 4 , and can’t wait to start level 5 later this year. I have heard from so many other practitioners who went to different training academies, and from what the general feed back has been, I believe that training at Matrix is very detailed and extensive, with so much variety and Natalie will only pass you when she is happy that you are competent in each area, and if needed she will get you back until she is happy that your work will reflect the good quality of Matrix training.

Thoroughly enjoyed the course at The Matrix Academy. Lovely venue, informative trainers, was given plenty of models to practise on on the day. Plus, the support, advice and guidance post training is fantastic. Looking to book more. Thank you ☺️ Second course now attended here, same quality training, information and just wonderful people. Cannot rate highly enough.
